President Trump nominates Judge Brett Kavanaugh to Supreme Court

President Donald Trump considers himself a master showman, having honed the ability to build suspense over 14 seasons of reality television, a convention-shattering presidential campaign and almost 18 months in office.

President Donald Trump chose Brett Kavanaugh, a solidly conservative, politically connected judge, for the Supreme Court, setting up a ferocious confirmation battle with Democrats as he seeks to shift the nation's highest court ever further to the right.

Sen. Dick Durbin (D-Ill.) said red-state Democrats might be tempted to vote for Trump's nominee because the midterm elections are coming up-but they should prioritize stopping his nomination to the Supreme Court. Two large wooden doors behind the podium slid open and Trump walked out. Since May 2006, he has sat on the US Court of Appeals for the District of Columbia Circuit.

In confirming Trump's first Supreme Court nominee Neil Gorsuch, Republicans eliminated the 60-vote requirement to advance a nomination to the High Court. "I believe that an independent judiciary is the crown jewel of our constitutional republic", Kavanaugh said on Monday.

Trump then introduced Kavanaugh, gesturing to this right, where a heavy wooden door swung open and Kavanaugh, his wife and two young daughters took the stage next to Trump.

The official said Trump decided on Kavanaugh, a front-runner throughout the search process, because of his large body of jurisprudence cited by other courts, describing him as a judge that other judges read.

He was interviewed by the President the same weekend as Kavanaugh. "But to me that title will always belong to my mom", Kavanaugh said. Susan Collins of ME and Lisa Murkowski of Alaska.

That will be a critically operative phrase for him to navigate the confirmation process. Kavanaugh said he would start meeting senators on Tuesday.

"Just as they held the Merrick Garland seat open on the Supreme Court, they also held open an very bad lot of vacancies on the district courts and the courts of appeal", said Russell Wheeler, who tracks judicial nominations at the Brookings Institution. Kavanaugh has "stellar" qualifications, she said.

Kavanaugh will have the help of an ad campaign sponsored by conservatives to convince colleagues and citizens.
